Science: A Chance to Be First

I believe this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before
this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him
safely to earth. No single space project in this period will be more
impressive to mankind, or more important for the long-range exploration
of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish. In
a very real sense, it will not be one man going to the moonit will be
an entire nation.
